Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3556485A1] Provided is a method for performing an external pipe thread process on a hollow blank by at least twice rolling: firstly, the first rolling wheel group rolls the outer surface of the hollow blank into a threaded cylindrical surface or a threaded conical surface or a threaded cylindrical conical mixing surface, and secondly, the second rolling wheel group rolls again for the outer surface of the hollow blank which has processed in step1, and rolling to form an external pipe thread; wherein the number of rolling wheels in a rolling wheel group, used in any two back-to-back rolling processes in a processing sequence, are different in parity. Further provided are various rolling head, module, apparatuses and production line for pipe thread, achieving the above processing method and having a simple structure, portability and practicality. When preforming an external pipe thread rolling process of the hollow blank, thereby improving a processing yield; in addition, the invention also provides a threaded cylindrical surface or a threaded conical surface or threaded cylindrical conical mixing surface products by the first rolling wheel group.
